SWEDEN

As skiing is still very popular here, the resorts are offering plenty of options for cross-country skiing and walking, which are the major sports among locals. But Alpine skiing in Sweden is also rather traditional kind of white sport here. And over the last years it has been actively developing. The most famous sport center here is Are-Duved. The enthusiasts of all ages will find something for them. The Swedish ski resorts are family-friendly and you will find here kindergartens, ski schools, and even children special trails.

The main plus of the Swedish resorts is that the snow coverage lasts during the whole season (November-to-May). The one thing you should remember is that it is very cold there, especially in December and January and the day duration is rather short.
